A visa lets someone enter a country legally. A work permit allows them to work there. Employer sponsorship means a company supports a worker's visa or permit by acting as their legal employer in that country.
Here’s a simple way to think about it:
- A visa gets someone through the door.
- A work permit allows them to legally do the job.
- Employer sponsorship is often needed to get or renew the right permits.
Each country has its own rules, but most require employer involvement when someone is being hired from abroad.
RemoFirst works with proprietary partners to support visa and work permit applications in 85+ countries currently. We guide your company and your candidate through the steps, ensuring compliance with local laws.
Depending on the country, we may:
- Act as the legal employer to sponsor the visa
- Handle required documentation and filings
- Coordinate with immigration lawyers or local authorities
We’ll also keep you informed about timelines, fees, and approvals during the application process.
Visa support through RemoFirst is only available if there is an actual employment arrangement — we can’t sponsor a visa for someone who doesn’t have a client hiring them.
Because our partners carry the legal risk as sponsors, all visa-related legal work must go through our authorized providers. Using third-party lawyers or consultants isn’t allowed, as it carries a compliance risk that could lead to permit denial, fines, or even local license loss.
We currently support visa and work permit services in 85+ countries across Europe, the Americas, APAC, MENA, and Africa — and that number is growing.
Support can vary depending on:
- The type of visa or permit needed
- The candidate’s nationality
- Local laws and processing timelines
Some of the countries where we commonly support mobility include:
- United Kingdom
- Mexico
- United Arab Emirates
- Germany
- Singapore
If you have a specific country or relocation in mind, our team can quickly confirm what's possible and walk you through next steps.
Processing times vary based on the country, visa type, and the worker’s situation. In general:
- Timeline: Most visas or work permits take 4–12 weeks to process. Some may take longer due to government delays or documentation issues.
- Cost: Visa and permit services often have government fees, legal costs, and admin fees. These can range from a few hundred to several thousand USD depending on the location.
We’ll always provide a detailed estimate up front — no hidden fees.
Yes, in many cases we can. If you’ve hired someone as a contractor and want to bring them on full-time in a country where they need a visa, we can assess their situation and help with the transition.
Our team will:
- Review local sponsorship requirements
- Guide you and the worker through the process
- Act as the legal employer where possible
This is a common path for scaling companies formalizing international relationships.
No. Visa and work permit approvals are determined by local government authorities — not by RemoFirst or our partners. While we do everything we can to submit a strong, compliant application, outcomes are never guaranteed.
We provide:
- Guidance from local immigration experts
- Careful review and preparation of documents
- Full support throughout the application process
However, because the service is considered complete once the application is submitted, we do not offer refunds if a permit is denied.
